Right, and this is how the WPDOS method does it, only using Adobe's
free PS driver rather than the Laserwriter . It also includes folder
action Applescripts to make it a one-step process: drop a document's
icon on the folder to print it to PDF. It would work as well using
another driver. Folder Actions can initiate any Applescript - which in
turn can run any WP macro.
